| - After recently writing up a review for the Camelback/Phoenix location based on a memory from a few months ago, I decided to give Shake Shack another try. My girlfriend and I decided to stop by this slightly bigger location while doing some shopping in Kierland.
This time, I decided to order the SmokeShack in a single patty, while my girlfriend ordered the basic ShackBurger. We split an order of regular fries, as well as a small chocolate shake.
In my original review, I discussed how baffled I am at how Shake Shack somehow garnered such a massive following over the years to the point where many of us locals are confused as to what all of the fuss is about.
Let's be real here, people. Their burgers are average at best in comparison to their competitors. Size is alarmingly small given the price, which is kind of a joke when you can easily obtain burgers elsewhere that are cheaper (and often times better). It's not that it's bad - it just isn't worth their premium prices. Mama might have raised a brat, but she damn sure didn't raise no fool!
Fries are pretty standard and the shake was no different than a chocolate shake from practically any other fast food burger joint. I guess we were expecting something more from a place bold enough to use the term "shake" in their title.
For the most part, our opinion remains unchanged. It's not In-N-Out (the prices make that pretty clear). Nor is it a place I'd consider visiting when we have so many great burger joints to pick from.
I'm sorry, Shake Shack, but I just don't get it.
Please don't be mad, okay?
